You can follow this link to buy GameStop shares directly from Computershare. Computershare will create an account for you if you haven't made one already.

​

If you want to set up your account first, or have an existing account and want to get to the buying page yourself, you can follow the guide below.

​

    • Computershare will then prompt you to create your username, password and security questions.

    • Once your account is created, Computershare will send you a verification letter in the mail.

    • ï‚·You can wait 3-5 business days for the verification letter, or you can verify your identity immediately online.

    • ï‚·To verify online, Computershare will ask some security questions based on info they take from LexisNexis. Please note, part of the process is to give a question with zero correct answers. So read the questions carefully.

  • If you already have an account, click on “Login to Investor Center”.

  • Click on “Login”.

  • From your Investment Summary page, under “What would you like to do?”, select “Search and Buy Stock”.

  • Search for GME or GameStop, and select it.

  • Review the fees ($5 fee per individual investment, and $2.50 for recurring), and then select “Invest Now”.

  • If you already have GameStop shares in your Computershare account, a message will pop up asking if you'd like to add more shares to your existing account, or create a new account for this purchase. Select “Buy More”.

  • Choose if you would like this to be a one time investment, or set up a recurring monthly payment. Then enter how many dollars you'd like to invest and click “Next”.

  • Select if your bank account is a checking or savings account. Enter the Account number and Routing number of the bank account you wish to use to pay. Then click “Next”.

  • Computershare will now ask for an email address to send you confirmation of your investment. Enter your email address and click “Next”.

  • On the final page you can review a breakdown of this investment. If you are happy with all of the information click the checkbox agreeing to the terms and conditions, and then click on “Submit”.

​

Congratulations you have now submitted a purchase directly through Computershare!

​

You will receive a confirmation email shortly afterwards. Computershare will pull the money from your bank account within 2 business days. After a few more days Computershare will submit the buy order in a large batch trade along with other Computershare investors.

​

While the delay seems problematic, this actually helps with price movement. As the batch orders are often round or mixed lots and purchased on lit exchanges.

Het omzetten van Plan holdings naar Book holdings:

Wanneer u rechtstreeks aandelen koopt via Computershare's DirectStock plan, worden de aandelen gehouden in de Plan pool, die wordt beheerd en onderhouden door Computershare. Als u de enige wettelijke eigenaar wilt zijn van de aandelen die u zojuist hebt gekocht, wilt u wellicht uw Plan-aandelen omzetten in Book-aandelen, of het DirectStock-plan volledig beëindigen. Voor beide opties zijn gidsen beschikbaar op de onderstaande links:
